Can't live without oh-my-zsh, powerlevel10k and zsh autocomplete/autosuggestions plugins. It's the first thing I install whenever I'm on a new computer.
And if I'm constrained to Windows (for work) then posh-git and PSReadLine is the next best thing.
I’ve had ohmyzsh installed for years. TBH, I still don’t know what it gives me over bash. In your experience, what is the “killer feature” of zsh?
Not OP, but I very recently switched from bash. Autocomplete with suggestions is a way better exeperience on zsh than bash. The way you can choose between options of the autocomplete/suggest interactively feels way better than bash. I set it up to be case-insensitive, so I can type
cd dow
and it will becomecd Downloads
. Gettig autocomplete for bothkubectl
and its aliask
is seamless in zshrc but requires an extra line with a weird dunder function in bashrc.This is just what I found in a few days of using it. There was no learning curve at all, everything just felt easier.
and fzf for Ctrl+R drop-in replacement
I run this exact same setup, it's pretty much a prereq on a fresh install. I wonder if we've all been exposed to the same blog articles
Fish: look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power
I've seen quite a few articles on why you should never install oh-my-...s over the years. I've also never bothered to remember anything past "install the plugins and prompt separately or you will suffer", so someone please link if you know what I'm talking about.
Thanks for naming these, I definitely need to look into them!
